Getting Started in Capy Castaway

## Before You Start
Try the free demo first -- it's been actively updated across multiple showcase appearances (most recently after the Dames 4 Games Spring 2026 Showcase), giving a real, current preview of the exploration and puzzle-solving loop before the full release.
Decide whether you're playing solo (switching between Capy and Corvi yourself) or in co-op with a friend from the start -- both are fully supported, and the game is specifically designed to welcome newcomers to the genre in either mode.
## Using Both Characters' Strengths
Don't treat Capy and Corvi as interchangeable -- Capy's sniffing, digging, and swimming abilities solve different puzzle types than Corvi's flying and object-retrieval. Many environmental puzzles are confirmed to require using both characters' specific strengths together, not just picking whichever one you prefer.
## Paying Attention to Your Choices
Since your choices shape relationships, the island itself, and which ending you reach, engage genuinely with the castaway residents you meet rather than rushing past dialogue -- this is confirmed as a real narrative-branching system, not a purely cosmetic dialogue layer.
## Common Mistakes
* Assuming this is a purely solo or purely co-op experience -- both modes are fully supported and designed to be equally enjoyable.
* Skipping hat customization for Capy as unimportant -- turning found objects into hats is confirmed as a real, intentional part of the game's charm and personalization.
